Do you guys all have twitter? We could mass tweet Kyocera. Otherwise multiple emails via the following page might give us a faster response.

Here is the email I sent to Kyocera
To whom it may concern,
As of September 9th, 2015 the Kyocera Hydro Vibe has ceased to cooperate with Google Play Services. For instance, I can open Inbox, Hangouts, Calendar, Play Games, Play books, Photos and of course the Play Store but Wallet, YouTube, YouTube Gaming, Play Music and Google Drive all force close. It's so bad, I have had to revert both YouTube and Google Drive back to their factory versions.
Originally I thought that the issue was only with my phone and performed a factory reset on the 9th. When my wife confirmed that she was also dealing with the same issue the 11th (she also owns a Hydro Vibe), I proceeded to contact your company via live chat. I was told to contact Virgin Mobile and after nearly an hour with them all they could offer me was a replacement device.
To be sure it wasn't something that could be solved with a factory reset, I performed a second factory reset to confirm and again the problem was still there. This problem is not local to the two Hydro Vibe devices owned by my wife and myself. Other users are having the same issue. Please refer to this conversation over at android Forums:

This problem is software related and one user has already contacted Google. Google told that user to contact your company. It seems as if everyone is passing around the blame but nobody is taking in the information and doing something about it. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
*my name*
